Liquor Depot
Bienfait, Canada – The Canadian
Liquor companies would rent a portion of the railroad depot warehouse in
Bienfait. The liquor was stored in a closed off room. They would have a manager
in town who would sell what was desired to the bootleggers, not to bars, just
to the bootleggers. The depot is still in Bienfait, although it has been moved
to different location and is now a museum. However, the original depot was
purchased by and moved to a local farmstead about a mile outside of town. The railroad tracks still go through the town.
The route out of town goes south to Ross Percy in the Souris Valley, then to
Sherwood, splitting off to Columbus and Portal.
